Company Summary

2.0 Company Summary

Inspirational Grounds, Minneapolis' South Central area, will offer great specialty beverages and easy access to exciting spiritual information. Inspirational Grounds sells quality products and provides excellent customer service for coffee lovers and persons looking to enhance their spiritual experience. We are looking to lease a retail store which we will use to market and merchandise our products. The company took its name in July 2002, and organised as an S Corporation in October, 2003.

Our book and music selection and helpful staff will appeal to the audience that is seeking to grow and learn spiritually in this age of uncertainty. This invigorating aspect will attract younger and elderly members alike who are gaining interest in their spiritual condition. The central location will provide easy access from most points of origin throughout the Twin City area for those who will recognise Inspirational Grounds as a destination point, as well as provide local community residents with convenient access to freshly roasted coffee.

2.1 Company Ownership

Inspirational Grounds is incorporated as an S corporation. This will shield the owner Regina Brown from issues of personal liability and double taxation. The Corporation was formed in October of 2003.

2.2 Start-up Summary

Inspirational Grounds' start-up costs will cover coffee, espresso, and specialty drink making equipment, micro-roasting equipment, training, site renovation and modification, capital for operating expenses in the first year, and the stock necessary to provide customers with the information needed to grow.

A large portion of our start-up requirements will go towards the purchase of specialty drink equipment from Espresso Services, Inc. Our fixed assets will include:

One espresso machine
One micro-roasting system
an Espresso grinder/doser
water filtration system

Expensed equipment includes:

A Bulk grinder for drip coffee
Single airpot brewer
Smoothie blender
Minor additional equipment

Additionally, we need funding for initial stock, both for the coffee shop side of things and the other specialty merchandise, books, and music. Music items will be purchased from Provident Music, Diamante Music Group, and New Day Christian Distributors among others. Books and other inspirational material will be purchased from Bridge-Logos Publishers, KCM, Bethany House Distributors, and others.

The site Inspirational Grounds chooses will require funds for renovation and modification. A single estimated figure will be allocated for this purpose. The renovation/modification cost estimate will include the costs associated with preparing the site for opening business.

Current Assets, in the table below, includes furniture and fixtures.

Fixed assets, in addition to our major brewing, grinding, and roasting equipment, includes a POS System.
